The
man’s soul is like a ray whose tip, that is, first end is
in Rooh-i-Baseet and the other in the body of man. In Chapter Hud
it has been said: “There is no living creature but He holds
it by its forelock”. By this forelock is meant the first end
of soul.
This subject is very difficult. Therefore, for making it simpler
I shall tell the first end of the ray ‘A’ and the second
‘J’. It has been narrated that Maqam-i- Mahmmod (exalted
position) of every soul is between ‘A’ and ‘J’
where the soul takes its shape from Wajood Amri to Wajood Misaali.
This place will be ‘B’ Thus the entire ray will be named
ABJ. Now I describe some peculiarities of ABJ which will open up
rare and unknown points and it will be also known how the back journey
is completed. Despite the best attempt for clarity and explanation
I know that except for those who are gifted with inner vision and
knowledge others will not be able to understand it thoroughly. Yet
what is being described is for diffusing learning and for the purpose
of reflection.
Now I describe the peculiarities and impressions of the soul whose
little knowledge and perception has been bestowed upon me by the
grace of Almighty Allah.
1. The soul is ray. This ray is continuous throughout and all the
time from A to J till the order of Allah, that is, death does not
occur, that is, nothing dislocates it by non-conducting process.
In Chapter Al-Furqan, Verses 45 and 46 Allah say: “Hast thou
not considered (the work of) thy Lord, how He extends the shade?
And if He had pleased He would have made it stationary. Yet we make
the sun its pilot to show the way. Then e draw it back to Us, withdrawing
it little by little.” Formal learned men have taken shadow
as the shade of a material object which is born of sun. For such
a shade it is imperative that the sun is in existence before although
in this verse lengthening of the shadow or the shade is mentioned
first and this that “Had I wished I would have kept it stationary
there”. Then it has been said: “I have made the sun
an argument and drew the shadow in my direction slowly and slowly”.
This shows that the meaning of the verse is something else. May
be that Allah might have desired to show the prophet how the human
soul acquired the shape of ray, shade or shadow and extended t the
earth. But because the intention was that it should not be born,
it contracted slowly and slowly towards Him i.e. in Rooh-i-Baseet.
And He told the Prophet that this is the method I have shown to
you. Rest you can understand through the concept of movement of
the sun i.e. how its rays keep the creatures of the earth alive
and living. Allah is knowing. But this verse is a shining guide
to those who have inner vision and power of deliberation.
2. This ray is so elastic and quick in movement that it remains
throughout with human beings whether he goes on foot or vehicle
with any speed and wherever he goes.
3. From A to B and B to J there is always present and exact form
or (similar form) of man in every particle of the ray which is the
true copy of his appearance. The only difference is that as you
proceed further from J every form becomes finer and finer. In reality
it is the innumerable copies of one body. About them it can neither
be said whether they are numerous bodies nor one body. It is very
difficult to explain it in words. Something may be grasped by an
example given below:-
Imagine the cinema hall. At one side is the operator’s room
and on the other side the white curtain and in –between machinery
etc... In the operator’s room the film is set on o wheel.
There is a hole in the wall in its front. The operator throws light
on the film from behind which falls on a picture. And the picture
riding on the rays of light appears on the white curtain. As an
example imagine this film to be Rooh-e-Baseet and the picture that
has been sent through the aid of light to the white curtain as un-used
soul and the light which is coming from behind as the light which
is coming from behind as the light of Allah----His wish or order
and the vacuum between surface of the film and the curtain Alam-e-Mesal
and the curtain itself as material world. Now reply to one of my
question. Is there any particle is not in existence and which is
seen still on the film but moving on the curtain? And also tell
us whether from the film picture to curtain picture there is any
place where the picture is not in existence in these rays and also
say whether it is one body or many. This example is certainly not
perfect considering other points but I can give no better example
to explain it.
4. The knowledge which human mind gets through fine senses, intellect
and
experience is also transferred t similar bodies according to proportionate
fineness.
Also the internal prudence.
5. The feeling which influences human souls also gradually affect
similar bodies.
6. The human self who acquires its color through beliefs and actions
also leaves
its imprints gradually and steadily affect similar bodies.
7. The strength and weakness which man acquires in his character
due to pious or bad deeds is also acquired gradually in the similar
bodies.
8. This ray can move from one end of the universe to the other in
twinkling of an eye according to the strength of human will. If
this ray is the soul of any perfect saint then he can appear in
person anywhere in any of his similar body anywhere in the universe
through his will power (by order of Allah). This depends upon will
power. Or he transfers his material self any where he desires. This
is secret that often perfect saints have been found present at different
paces at one time. Those who have acquired such power or have its
knowledge know that the ascent of Prophet was physical.
9. The line JB is influenced through the upper portion of BJ from
the ascending order of destiny. (This is luck). In all the material
world and similar world, the influence of its environment is perceived
according to its weakness and strength. (These are accidents). It
is also influenced through the acts and functions which are performed
by material body. (This is deliberation).
10. As long as this line is linked with point J it is called life.
When the link is broken it is called death.
